Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

Jacob, Thank you for clarifying that you never came here with an honest question at all, but you have a position to promote. This is all right, and very much welcome at this forum. We are glad to have people of differing viewpoints present their case and invite response. However, when you pretend t...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

I don't think you a have a Biblical understanding of the Law at all, but I don't mean to be rude. Maybe you think I'm totally lost about what the Bible really teaches about Law too. I do spend many, many years studying and praying about this. But I'm too tired now to continue, plus it seems you don...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

As a weary observer of (and sometimes participant in) this conversation, I would suggest that there is no actual communication taking place across the aisle between Jacob and those of us who are trying to answer his question. Our answers do not register with him, and, frankly, his question has not ...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

Jacob, you say "I want to understand what the new covenant is." Then immediately say, "I understood the new covenant first, without understanding what the Law is." You really need to step back, take a pause, and gather your thoughts as you have many issues with your thinking which do no even allow ...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. God wants us to obey Him by obeying His commands according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Law points out sin and imperfection. But the Spirit brings ...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

I hope you didn't think I meant to physically suicide, but rather to accept God's decree of death as the wages of sin. Have you ever read the writings of Paul? He more than once states that the Law kills him spiritually and condemns him to death as well. Paul says sin became alive and he died. I be...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

Remember Romans 8:1. How do you find that the Law condemns? Is it true? "who walk not after the flesh" True. We as Christians live by the Spirit. Some say the flesh is still around. Maybe this is not true for true Christians. Obviously we still live on in the flesh after becoming a Christian. But w...

Re: Should we observe all the commands from Jesus' ministry?

There is no reason for anyone to kill themselves. I hope you didn't think I meant to physically suicide, but rather to accept God's decree of death as the wages of sin. Killing oneself by the law is not an idea I am familiar with, nor do I want to be familiar with it. Have you ever read the writing...
